Ray Tomlinson, the man who sent the world's first email (to himself, of course) wanted a symbol that was so weird it couldn't possibly appear in anyone's name; he chose the @ symbol.

Who send first email in the world?

World's first email message was sent in 1971 between two computers. Mr. Tomlinson was the person, who created a computer program named SNDMSG, which sent a simple email message to a nearby computer through ARPANET. He was also the first person to put "@" in the email. He did that because this sign wasn't used that much anywhere else. The first email address was "tomlinson@bbn-tenexa."
